Shyamanta Moni Hazarika · IGI Global eBooks · 2010
This chapter describes semantic search of unstructured data through a qualitative pre-processor. Using the spatial representation language Region Connection Calculus, qualitative relationships inherent in the background knowledge is made explicit. The pre-processor obtained by exploiting such qualitative information can overcome some fundamental problems associated with information retrieval and is an efficient approach to retrieve relevant results.
